Mine seem to be lifting up around the edges.Is this normal.I only bought mine last August thru Oct of last year.Should they be doing this are they going to come off.Just a little concerned.

I haven't tried to lift them up by hand or anything to see if there lose because I'm afraid to.But just wondering if anyone elses are doing the same thing.

Sounds like what you have is the "sinking in the middle" problem. They don't come off the base, but they tend to make it hard to ink up large stamps. You might consider searching for "sinking in the middle" on the previous forums because lots of people have had great suggestions for how to deal with this.

A good reminder for everyone.....ink up your smaller stamps on the edges, not in the center of your pad to avoid this happening.

Thanks for the tip, AmandaMay...never thought about inking the smaller ones towards the outside...makes a lot of sense though! That's what I love about SCS, I learn something new every single day!!!!

It also seems to me that as the inkpad starts to dry out, the edges dry first and try to curl. So I get out my reinker and run it around the edges first. Helps a lot.
